Chapter 140: Just Wait and See

As the news cameras shifted their focus, the crowd, infuriated by Amber's audacity to continue her tirade, swarmed the scene to confront her. The sheer number of people caused a traffic jam outside the police station, forcing the officers to intervene to maintain order. However, it seemed even the police couldn't stand by Amber's actions; they merely kept the crowd from blocking traffic but did nothing to stop them from attacking her.

Amber and Elizabeth screamed in pain as they were pelted with objects, their heads bleeding and appearances disheveled, yet no one showed them sympathy. Eventually, they were taken away by an ambulance. Coincidentally, the hospital they were brought to was the same one where Hugo had just been wheeled out of the operating room.

The mother who accused their son of pedophilia and the daughter who accused her foster father of indecency?" one nurse said. "Yeah, they had their heads split open. We intentionally reduced their anesthesia during stitching; they screamed in agony!" another responded with a smirk. The nurses laughed and walked away.

Recollecting the twenty-three stitches the surgeon had shown them, a cold smile slowly formed on Tina's lips.
